Why I’m on Couchsurfing

HOW I PARTICIPATE IN COUCHSURFING

Unfortunately we cannot accept guests as our current home is very small.

I think CS is a great way to make wonderful connections with fascinating people and to make traveling more accessible to lower income folks.

Music, Movies, and Books

I Enjoy comedies and documentaries, for music i mostly make my own with a didgeridoo and a flute and some drums, but if i'm listening it's likely to be reggae or some good ol classic rock, i'm open to anything really.... For books, I'm usually reading something about the human psyche or nature.
